I thought, you might be interested in knowing that PHP binaries included within Open Solaris, also includes Suhosin , a useful php extension. Hmm... So, if you wonder as to what is Suhosin - please check out from their web site on Why Suhosin and its features. Note: Currently, PHP runtime / core integrated within Open Solaris is not patched with any patch like Hardening-PHP patch . We are still investigating on the various aspects of this patch. So, if you have any thoughts on the pros and cons of this patch, please write to us.
How to enable Suhosin extension within Open Solaris -
Un-comment the following line within /etc/php5/5.2.4/conf.d/suhosin.ini
;extension=suhosin.so
Please note that default configuration should be good enough for most of the customers. If in case, you would like to fine tune or customize your security settings, please visit Suhosin configuration page for more configuration options. You can edit '/var/php5/5.2.4/conf.d/suhosin.ini' to customize your suhosin setup.
Finally, you will need to restart Apache Web Server for this change to take into effect by doing some thing like
svcadm restart network/http:apache22
